hello-phone
unlikely to get much use these days, but i wonder if hello-phone could be attested as a children's word for telephone, or if it's the sort that adults make up "because it's cute". I remember hearing on an episode of Rugrats something like "umm... we ' re not ' upposed to use the hello-phone." For that matter i wonder if  ' upposed  is worth a try. that word, at least, wont go out of date with the change of technology. — Soap — 05:50, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
